From Paris to Bombay: Chanel’s Pre-Fall Collection

29.Dec,2011 Comments Off
Presenting Chanel’s 2012 pre-fall collection; a stunning homage to the extravagance and glamour of historic India.

The theme is ‘Paris-Bombay’, and the clothing a perfect hybrid of the two cites. Chanel’s signature tweed  blends seamlessly with luxurious silks, jewelled headpieces, metallic saris and beaded sandals.

The show held at Paris’ Grand Palais earlier this month was brimming with Largerfeld’s over-the-top theatrics we’ve come to expect, featuring model after model gliding down a circular runway between two long and lavish banquets. Silver trays were piled high with succulent fruits and flowers, and there was even a small silver train that delivered drinks to the guests.

After an extensive world tour, the late Elizabeth Taylor’s epic jewellery collection smashed worldwide auction records as it was sold off in New York yesterday. Some 269 diamonds, pearls, rubies, rings, and necklaces were among the lots, as well as outfits and Oscars owned by the lauded star, who passed away in 2010. Expected to raise around $30 million, by the time the last bid was placed, the collection had instead fetched a phenomenal $115,932,000 USD.
